By joining the Skrill USA VIP program, you will get access to a 24-hour support service. Also, you will have a personal manager who can help you solve all issues and problems. Also, all VIP users will be able to take part in special Skrill promotions.

If you want to become Skrill VIP, you need to make transactions in merchants in 15 000 USD within 30 days. After that, within five days, Skrill will upgrade your status from a regular user to VIP, and you will get access to all the Skrill VIP benefits for the USA.

As a non-U.S. Skrill customer, you can regularly use your Skrill MasterCard in the USA, wherever MasterCard is accepted. You will be not forbidden to access your Skrill account either, but please note that transfers to EU gambling merchants would not be possible. Your account might get locked if you try to execute such a transfer. Other transfers, such as funding your Skrill accountant Person to Person transactions, should be possible with no restrictions.

Please be aware that any breach might lead to a lock of your account, and if you intend to spend a more extended period in the US, please sign up for an Inc account. Some of our clients were not aware of this and got their accounts locked. We could get their accounts reopened faster again, but it is still taking some time, so please stick to the rule and pay attention.

We also would recommend letting Skrill support now if you plan to travel to avoid any issues with your card or your account. Just send a quick email to [email protected] so that they are aware of this.

The Skrill USA Affiliate Program offers the same conditions as the Skrill Ltd entity, and it is life for US citizens too.
It means that to start referring US accounts, you need to be a US-based account holder and sign up for the Skrill US Affiliate program, respectively. You will not be allowed to refer customers from outside the US.
